Preferences…
The Preferences dialog contains several pages with set-
tings and options affecting, for example, the general pro-
gram behavior. You access the pages by selecting items
in the list on the left. To make settings without closing the
dialog use the Apply button.
Use the Help button in the dialog for information about the
items on the selected page.
Quit

open project, you will have the option of keeping these or
discarding them before the program quits.
File menu
New Project…
This item allows you to create a new untitled project. A list
appears, allowing you to select an empty project or a
project template. The factory templates are preconfigured
setups to suit various types of projects. A project can be
saved as a template, and will then appear on this list.
After making a selection, a project file dialog appears, al-
lowing you to specify a folder where all files relating to the
new project will be stored. Select an existing folder or
click the Create button to create a new folder.
Open…
This item opens a file dialog allowing you to locate and
open saved project files. Cubase LE Project files have the
extension “.cpr”. Several projects can be open at the
same time, but only one can be active. The active project
is indicated by a blue button at the top left corner of the
Project window.
Close
Closes the active window. If the Project window is active,
the corresponding project will be closed.
Save
Saves any changes made to the project since you last
saved. The Save command stores the project under its
current name and location.
Save As…
Save As allows you to specify a new name and a new
project folder for the project.
Back up Project…
This item allows you to save the project into a new empty
folder. It has some additional features that can be used for
backup purposes.
When you back up a project, all files relating to the project
based on the options set will be saved in the new project
folder. The contents of the original project folder will be left
untouched. If you are absolutely certain that you do not
have any further need for the unused files and/or the video
files from the original project, you can exclude them from
the backup version.
Save as Template…
You can save any project as a template. When you create
a new project, the available templates are listed, allowing
you to base the new project on the selected template.
Saved templates will contain everything that was in the
original project, including clips and events.
